Modification and Property Improvement of Post Consumed Recycled Polyproplene Resin

Entropex是一家私营的加拿大公司，参与后工业和后处理。 消费塑料。自1978年以来，Entropex一直是加拿大市场发展的领导者。 特定的回收聚乙烯和聚丙烯，用于各种消费和工业应用。与 18万平方米位于萨尼亚的塑料回收设施（PRF），Entropex目前排名第8大 消费后回收商和北美第18大塑料回收商。 从消耗后的回收来源获得的聚丙烯是各种等级的混合物。消费后 回收的聚丙烯（PCR-PP）也被一些其它聚合物污染， 与聚丙烯不兼容的聚乙烯。这在使用时带来了很多挑战， 后消耗的丙烯。为了向客户提供高质量的树脂等级，Entropex需要 确定经济的修改技术，以调整和定制其传入的一些关键属性， 新产品的材料-特别是更好的冲击强度，更高的刚度和更高的熔体指数 用于注塑应用的牌号。 Entropex和兰顿学院的先进材料工程研究（AMER）团队正在合作 通过这个项目，开发复合配方，将修改和提高最终的物理和 消耗后材料的机械性能。该项目的成果将有助于Entropex开发 为客户提供各种应用的新产品。这将提高Entropex在 市场，增加其收入，促进公司的增长。开发的工艺需要扩大规模， 大规模生产。这将为设计、建筑和 操作此外，消费后废物的附加值将减轻我们垃圾填埋场的负担， 处理回收途径中的大部分塑料。该项目还将提供机会， 培养高素质人才。

Entropex is a privately owned Canadian Company involved in the reprocessing of post industrial and post consumer plastics. Since 1978, Entropex has been a Canadian based leader in the development of market specific recycled polyethylene and polypropylene for a variety of consumer and industrial applications. With 180,000 sq. foot plastic recovery facility (PRF) located in Sarnia, Entropex is currently ranked the 8th largest post consumer recycler and the 18th largest Plastic Recycler in North America. Polypropylene obtained from post-consumed recycled source is a mixture of various grades. post-consumed recycled polypropylene (PCR-PP) is also contaminated with some other polymers such as High Density PolyEthylene that are not compatible with Polypropylene. This presents a lot of challenges when working with a post consumed propylene. In order to offer high quality resin grades to the customers, Entropex needs to identify economical modification techniques to adjust and tailor some of the key properties of their incoming materials for new products - particularly, a better impact strength, higher stiffness, and higher melt index grades for injection molding application. Entropex and Advanced Material Engineering Research (AMER) team at Lambton College are collaborating through this project to develop compounding formulations that will modify and enhance the final physical and mechanical properties of post-consumed materials. The outcome of this project will help Entropex to develop new products for its clients for various applications. This will increase Entropex's competitiveness in the market, increase its revenue and enhance company's growth. The developed process needs to be scaled up for large-scale production. This will provide excellent opportunity to create jobs for design, construction and operation. In addition, added value to post-consumer waste will lower the burden on our landfill site by processing much of those plastics from the recycled pathway. The project will also provide opportunity for training High Quality Personnel.
